I used Mann’s Broccoli Cole Slaw in this egg roll in a bowl, and it really cuts the prep time down! Full of veggies including broccoli stems, cabbage, and carrots, this slaw is perfect for meal prep because it can hold up for several days in the sauce.
Not only that, but Mann’s Broccoli Cole Slaw is so good for you, rich in Vitamins A and C, contains fibre and iron, and is low in carbs.

How to make this egg roll in a bowl recipe
Thanks to Mann’s Broccoli Cole Slaw, the prep time on this egg roll in a bowl recipe is spent shaking together your sauce, chopping your ginger and mincing your garlic.
- combine soy (or liquid aminos), honey (or monk fruit sweetner) and apple cider vinegar and shake to combine.
- cook ground pork (you can swap for ground turkey or ground beef as well!)
- make a space in the middle and sautee the garlic and ginger in the sesame oil
- add the sauce, then the bag of Mann’s Broccoli Cole Slaw
- cook for 3 minutes, until slaw is *slightly* wilted
Sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onion and enjoy!

One of the first recipes I tried from Sweet Peas and Saffron, absolutely love it! We prefer savory, so I reduce or omit the sweetener and added crushed red pepper. I’ve probably made this a dozen times now – with turkey, pork, ground beef – using the broccoli slaw, or frozen veggies or shredded Brussels sprouts. Using the veggie shortcuts the whole meal comes together in 30 minutes or less. We serve with rice or on its own.

Wow wow wow! I’m so happy to read your review, Heather! Thank you for taking time out of your day to leave it 🙂

This is a staple in my home. I have to make double batches of it. My duaghter’s Friend comes over every Sunday with her containers and I have to make enough for me and my family and her. This is the best recipe (outside of the curried chicken).
Denise
I’m so happy to hear this, Colleen! What a kind thing for you to do! <3

This sounds delicious! Any suggestions for a side to serve with it?
Denise
Hey Kelsey! We normally serve this as a full meal in and of itself. I suppose you could serve it with a side? I can’t think of one off the top of my head, but here’s my side dish category to have a look https://sweetpeasandsaffron.com/category/appetizers-and-snacks/

Absolutely delicious. Everyone had extra and fought over the leftovers. Add extra garlic and ginger – can’t go wrong!
Denise

Wondering if this is Keto approved?

I believe it is, however I am not a keto expert.

Great recipe! I substituted the pork with veggie sausage to make this dish vegetarian. The flavor was delish! I loved how simple it was to make. Will definitely make this one again. Thanks for sharing!
Denise
So happy you enjoyed! Thank you for taking the time out of your day to leave a review, Melissa!

I tried this recipe, but I substituted the ground pork with ground beef 80/20, and instead of soy sauce I used the coconut aminos. It turned out a total success and a new favorite on what my family now calls ‘Wasabi Wednesday.’ Thanks for the recipe.
Denise
So happy you enjoyed! Thanks for sharing, Cindy!
